It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful Husband, Dad and Poppy, in his 71st year. Leaving to mourn their sad loss, his wife Shirley (Houlihan) of 49 years, his sons Barry (Kristi) and Darrell (Lori), and daughter Gillian (Pat), who so tenderly took care of their dad during the last few weeks of his life. No man ever had so much attention paid with such loving care and devotion. Also missing their Poppy are nine grandchildren: Kyle Scott, Kayla Brewer (Steve), Simone (Corey), Jarrod and Hannah Duke, Rachel and Gavin Barry, Emma and Jessie Duke; as well as Pop Pop's little monster man Carter Brewer, his great-grandson. We could not have done it without the constant visits, care and food from our nieces on both sides. They were so attentive to his every need. Leaving to mourn his brothers Pete, Jack and Pat, and sisters Matilda and Margaret, as well as a large number of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. His love of Country music will most certainly be carried on by his children. His presence will definitely be missed by his fur babies Minnow and Sheba. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Maher's Funeral Home, Placentia, with visitation on Monday, January 1st from 1pm to 5pm and 7pm to 9pm. Mass of Christian Burial to take place 2pm on Tuesday, January 2nd at Holy Rosary Church, Freshwater. Burial to take place at Dermot McGettigan Memorial Cemetery, Southeast Placentia at a later date.
